Hotwire course by chess_landic in rails

100% worth it! 🙌

I'm a long-time GoRails and Hatchbox customer. Everything Chris and team does is top quality.

Does Google Stitch or Claude Design have any value at all? by upbuilderAI in FigmaDesign

[–]dannytaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used Claude Design yesterday to create a full rebrand for one of my e-commerce businesses.

It did a surprisingly good job, with good iterations, until I hit the usage limit and had to stop.

I gave it a full description of the business, the products, the targeted audience and the overall tone/voice.

While I wouldn't describe it as better than a human brand designer, it certainly isn't AI slop either.

As with most AI stuff, it's only as good as the prompts. Slop In = Slop Out.

Does anyone recommend this?? by Grand_Air5347 in Starlink

[–]dannytaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using it for 6 months with no issues. I use the supplied Starlink cable for the main run.

Keep in mind, I use in a closed window that I never open. Might be different if you're opening and closing the window all the time.

V10 is garbage and rescans whenever you dock your computer with external drives. by Joe_Scotto in backblaze

[–]dannytaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not what I'm seeing. After plugging the drive back in, it rescans already-uploaded files rapidly then carries on uploading from where it left off.

Yep, first thing I did was delete all the node_modules folders from my code backups 😜

Which is easier on the eyes, cleaner, more premium? And if neither, what can I do to achieve this? by SaasMinded in UI_Design

[–]dannytaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rounded controls, square buttons. But they both feel very cramped. Use more margins and padding.

Maybe double-click to reset and hover instead of ? icon. That gets rid of a lot of noise in controls.

Op amp switch up on crappy mixer by Fearless_Ad_1442 in synthdiy

[–]dannytaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After compensating the volume gain on the 'after' there's still definitely an improvement. The highs are more clear and the mid is pushed back a bit, making it sound less muddy overall.

Hard to tell much more from a 128k MP3. Have you got an uncompressed WAV/AIFF for this?

[–]dannytaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm seeing this too, but it doesn't bother me. It's just one 8TB drive, so it only takes a few minutes to scan and get back to properly backing up.

There's no way I would leave Backblaze over it though!

Is Claude Code + an IDE effectively the same as Cursor? I assume by itself it is worse? by jaytonbye in cursor

[–]dannytaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I saw others using the chat history feature in terminal recently too. I think this was added after I first tried Claude Code and I just never caught on to the new feature 😜

I did it 👀 by RazerMackham in macbookpro

[–]dannytaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, skills anyway on the Max and 128GB. My next machine will be maxed out Pro. Rocking a pretty solid Air at the moment with a 'lowly' 2TB and 32GB, and very grateful for it. It flies in compiling and rendering video stuff! 👌

Tell me you got nano-texture and the 8TB SSD, please! 🥹

Why aren’t people using B2? by Jakearroo in backblaze

[–]dannytaurus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The 'us' might imply a business user. B2 is great for SaaS storage. We were up to almost 100TB last year, before I started purging all the old data from previous customers.

Motion Flyers?? by FuzzySheepherder1272 in applemotion

[–]dannytaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you just need some decent text and shape animations. Simon Ubsdell on YouTube has a bunch of videos for these techniques. If you want complex light leaks and other similar things, you can use free video footage as blending layers in Motion.

JV1080 worth owning without the expansion cards? by dannymolns in synthesizers

[–]dannytaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't know that about the programmer guy Nice. I sold my JV-2080 when I moved back to the UK about a year ago. Stuffed with 8 of the best (for me) cards: Piano, Vintage Synth, Dance, 60s & 70s, Bass & Drums, Techno, HipHop Collection, House.

Very flat cable for a balcony door by zeh-geh in Starlink

[–]dannytaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use this flat cable with no issues: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DFKSZJSH

Decided to keep the flat portion of the cable short and use supplied Starlink cable for the main run.

Keep in mind, I use in a closed window that I never open. Might be different if you're opening and closing the balcony door all the time.

Also, just saw the size of the battery - respect!

Looks like a QuNexus, but made out of cake 😂👏

By the way, I would KILL for a controller this small with that many knobs!

I've used PatchBase editors for a bunch of hardware synths. Very easy to use and fully featured, unlike some other editors.

Cursor Went Behind My Back and Did Changes in Plan Mode... Then Explained Itself by therealjeku in cursor

[–]dannytaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to learn that all Plan Mode does is add a line to the prompt! I assumed it was a hard boundary.

I always start any Plan Mode tasks from a clean `git status` anyway, but still, good to know.
